Chapter 97 Battle (1)
On the afternoon of August 26, 1937, after receiving the supplement, the Japanese army, under the cover of artillery fire from the three navy, army and air forces, began to launch a fierce attack on the Jiangwan Town area.
Colonel Takeshita's expression was not very good at this time. He had promised the commander of the Black Rock Brigade that the 43rd Regiment would definitely be able to take Jiangwan Town within three days.
As it turns out, if you talk too much, you will flash your tongue, just like Colonel Takeshita, the current leader of the 43rd Regiment.
"Report to the corps captain, the battle on the front line has failed and our army suffered heavy losses!"
The person who reported to Colonel Takeshita was a Nakasaka, who was the captain of the first brigade of the 43rd Regiment, named Rio Ichiro Ichi.
After hearing the news, Colonel Takeshita's face turned red. He took off his gloves angrily and slapped hard onto Liu Yi's face.
"Ba,ba,ba..."
The applause was crisp, mixed with Colonel Takeshita's anger: "Baga..."
After slapped about four or five times, Takeshita finally beat the resentment in his heart. He corrected the emotions on his face and said to the people around him: "Transfer the order, the Second Brigade, the First Brigade, and the Fighting at the same time. Be sure to take down Jiangwan as soon as possible!"
"Hay!" Nakasa, the Black Rock, and another Nakasa, responded in unison.
For the Black Rock, it is worth slapping these few times. The captain of the regiment has given him several opportunities, and they are all under the cover of land and air artillery fire. The scene is not bad.
However, even in such a big scene, Black Rock Zhongzuo led his troops to attack repeatedly and get slapped, which is worthy of it.
After Colonel Takeshita announced that he would let Muto Kaichi's second brigade participate in the war, Kuroi Yanyui breathed a sigh of relief: Finally, I was not the only one who was slapped...
The number of Japanese troops was about 1,100. Apart from the casualties of the first brigade and the total strength of the second brigade, the Japanese troops invested this time were almost a regiment of the National Army!
To be precise, it is a strengthening regiment with the firepower of weapons and firepower!
Since the troops invested have increased, the scope of the attack will naturally be impossible to be just one point, but one side.
Of course, this "face" also includes Zhang Tianhai's first position.
The Japanese army's attack was also fierce. Before the attack was launched, the shells, as dense as the summer rainstorm, drew a beautiful arc in the sky with roars, and hit the heads of the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 216th Regiment.
"boom!!!"
"boom!!!"
"boom!!!"
The explosion of the shells exploded on the ground on the positions held by the officers and soldiers of the 36th Division. A trace of fire lit up in the smoke, shocking but full of murderous aura!
This time, the Japanese bombardment was the first bombardment that Zhang Tianhai encountered since his two lives, and the taste was difficult to understand.
That's right, it was the first time that he encountered real guns and ammunition bombardment. When the commander of the 108th Brigade, Peng Jiguang, commander of the 108th Brigade, commanded the troops to attack the Japanese army, it was strengthened by the independent artillery regiment, and the Japanese army was bombed.
The bombardment at Huishan Wharf happened to be pursuing the Japanese defeated soldiers again, which was a perfect miss.
As for military exercises in previous lives, it is even more impossible to use bombardment. Even if it is used, it will be empty bullets. After all, training is the first priority.
As for the death indicators in military exercises, they were only set up under the last resort.
The sound of cannons in my ears made Jiangwan Town, which was already broken, even more broken. Gravels splashed everywhere, and the vibrations generated by the explosion were slowly transmitted through the ground to the surroundings. It was a scene of the doomsday of time, and even the ceiling of Zhang Tianhai Camp Department had begun to slowly crack.
After learning from the lessons of the 212th Regiment, it was impossible for Zhang Tianhai to put a company or platoon in front. On the contrary, he was very smart. He only arranged a squad of troops there, and it was just enough to hide and thicken the fortifications behind.
"Luckily the Japanese army was not equipped with a heavy howitzer with a caliber of 150mm... Otherwise, my camp would be in danger..." Zhang Tianhai sighed softly after standing behind the desk of the battalion headquarters.
The noise around was too loud, and he was really speaking in a low voice, so he didn't hear his sigh.
The Japanese artillery bombardment lasted only five minutes and stopped. In Zhang Tianhai's opinion, it was undoubtedly that the Japanese army had few shells at this time, and they could only "widen" when the next batch of supplies arrived.
After the Japanese artillery fire stopped, Zhang Tianhai was not idle either. He immediately walked out and ordered the first company commander Li Chunfei: "Company Commander! All the company will enter the position, and do not let the Japanese invaders seize our position!"
"Yes!" Li Chunfei's movements were not slow, and immediately led the officers and soldiers of the first company to the position.
...
This is a positional battle, a complete positional battle. The position is like a millstone. Both soldiers of the army are sucking their flesh and blood on this flesh and blood grinding wheel.
The enemy and our army on the position are like an old donkey pushing the mill, slowly pushing this "millet", fighting for ownership of this position.
As a qualified battlefield commander, Zhang Tianhai naturally appeared at the forefront of the battlefield, but he did not appear on the position, but just stood on the second floor of a private house on the front and quietly watched the enemy troops coming like waves.
His fists clenched gently, not nervousness, but hatred.
I hate why China is not strong at this time. I hate that I am powerless in this cruel battlefield except to command the troops here to hold their positions.
This is a national war. The national strength and consumption of both countries can be defeated. Whoever can afford it will be able to survive until the end will be victory.
Although Zhang Tianhai had long known that China would eventually win the War of Resistance, those who were not in it would not understand the situation at that time.
The Japanese army's flying bullets either hit the bodies of the Chinese military officers and soldiers, or hit the brick and stone walls of the house behind the Chinese military soldiers, and then emitted a fire.
Bullets are raining, this is an idiom, an idiom that describes the cruelty of the hot weapon battlefield very vividly.
The Japanese bullets and grenade launchers hit the national army's positions, like waves slapped on the beach, and then splashed waves.
While the Japanese army was attacking, the bullets of the national army soldiers were also returned to the Japanese army as much as possible.
For a moment, both sides suffered heavy casualties!
In fact, at the beginning of the Japanese landing, the gap between the casualties between the enemy and our army was not large. As for why the Japanese army suffered 100,000 casualties and the national army suffered 300,000 casualties, this is related to the strength of the two armies in terms of heavy firepower.
